as part of a shell script, i'd like to generate a random number (preferably an integer), but i'd like to do it in a POSIX-compliant way.
AFAICT, using the $RANDOM variable is not POSIX-compliant -- that variable is not defined in a strict POSIX shell. any other suggestions? perhaps reading a number of bytes from /dev/urandom or something? rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
